SUMMARY:Fear and Love at the Design Museum
DESCRIPTION:The new Design Museum is about to reopen its doors. One of the opening exhibitions is Fear and Love: Reactions to a Complex World that presents eleven new installations by some of the most innovative and thought-provoking designers and architects working today\, including Spanish Andrés Jaque and Ana López. \nThese newly commissioned works explore a spectrum of issues that define our time\, including: networked sexuality\, sentient robots\, slow fashion and settled nomads. The exhibition asserts that design is deeply connected not just to commerce and culture but to urgent underlying issues – issues that inspire fear and love. This is a bold\, multidisciplinary and global exhibition that aims to capture the mood of the present and establish the Design Museum as the home of design debate. \nArchitect Andrés Jaque\, based in New York and Madrid\, explores the way network culture is designing and defining new forms of behaviour and interaction. Focusing on dating apps\, his audio-visual installation Intimate Strangers presents a series of tales about how our pursuit of sex and love through social media is changing the way we view the city\, our bodies and our identity. \n \n \nFear and Love: Reactions to a Complex World Animation from Design Museum on Vimeo. \n

SUMMARY:Forms of Action - Contestador
DESCRIPTION:The Centre for Contemporary Arts in Glasgow (CCA) will host the exhibition Forms of Action until Saturday 12th March in which the Spanish artist and researcher Asunción Molinos is showing her work ‘Contestador’. Forms of Action is an exhibition about current international developments in socially-engaged art practices and their relation to the past. \nAsunción Molinos work has focused internationally on issues related to the cultural aspect of farming and the rural sphere. ‘Contestador’ (Answering Machine) is a sound piece that explores the relationship between bureaucracy and territory. It is inspired by forms of languages commonly employed by officialdom when communicating with farm workers. This ‘voice of the people’ will give visitors a better insight into how modern agricultural policies have brought about a sea change in the economic and cultural role of farmer. \nIn addition\, ‘Contestador’ will offer an example of how to use art as a platform for sharing the concerns of farming communities\, as well as addressing issues related to sustainable food agriculture. \n

SUMMARY:Course: Women in Spanish Cinema
DESCRIPTION:A course focused on the roles and representations of women in Spanish cinema: women as icons\, as subjects\, and as creators. Two screenings and six sessions led by Carmen Herrero\, Head of Spanish at Manchester Metropolitan University and co-director of the Film in Language Teaching Association. \nParticipants\, that do not require prior knowledge on the topic\, will explore examples of the construction female images since the 1940s up to the present: from Carlos Saura’s metaphorical figures to Almodóvar’s fascinating heroines\, remarkable cinematic figures that condense the contradictions of a society in the throes of modernisation. The course will pay particular attention to the visibility and empowerment that women have achieved in acting\, directing\, production and screenwriting in post-Franco Spain. The works of Spanish female directors (Pilar Miró\, Isabel Coixet\, Chus Gutiérrez\, Icíar Bollaín\, Helena Taberna and Paula Ortiz\, among others) will help us to explore a wider range of female figures and themes\, adding a layer of complexity to the representations of women on the cinematic Spanish screen. \n

SUMMARY:Antoni Tàpies: Revulsion and Desire
DESCRIPTION:An exhibition of Antoni Tàpies (1923–2012) is been displayed at Timothy Taylor. It presents in London some works that have never been shown outside of Spain before. Emerging in the period between 2004 until the artist’s death\, these late works\, often monumental in size\, reveal the artist at his most vigorous. \nTàpies flirted with figuration and abstraction simultaneously. Even at his most abstract\, images emerge from matter. In the painting Matèria sinuosa (2010)\, violent images materialise from the seemingly abstract forms\, suggesting a human torso and arms engaged in a brutal act. While his materials create an immediate\, physical experience\, his distortion of the image has an unsettling effect – matter offers nothing concrete. In this way the viewer completes the work by intercepting the image with personal experience and imagination. As he stated in conversation with Barbara Catoir in 1991: “I see that by barely suggesting things the association of ideas I like to provoke in the spectator widens.” \nAntoni Tàpies was one of Spain’s most accomplished and prolific artists. He extended Spain’s early avant-garde lineage to become a leading figure in the country’s art world in the second half of the twentieth century. His work is included in numerous public and private collections internationally including Tate Galleries\, UK; The Museum of Modern Art\, New York; Galleria Nazionale d’Arte Moderna\, Rome; Le Centre Pompidou\, Paris; Stedelijk Museum\, Amsterdam; and the Museum of Contemporary Art\, Los Angeles. Tàpies represented Spain in the 45th Venice Biennale in 1993 and was awarded the Golden Lion. \n

SUMMARY:Pablo Genovés: Tides
DESCRIPTION:Pablo Genovés was selected by St Paul’s to create a series of works on the theme of water\, a commission that is part of an international collaboration\, Just Water\, that will see work inspired by water on display in cathedrals around the world in 2017. \nWater brings life and death\, rebirth and harvest\, flooding and drought\, as it ebbs and flows across our planet. Fundamental to the rituals of all religions and symbolic of life itself it is more than fitting theme for St Pauls. \nIn this series for St Paul’s Genovés works with Wren’s neoclassical where clean lines and harmonious order of musically repeating arches and spheres provide the perfect counterpoint to the cacophony of nature’s chaos as it swells and rises in the familiar interiors. \nPablo Genovés was born in Madrid in 1959. He trained in London (Photographer’s Club\, Camera Work Center of Photography\, Camden Arts Center) and at the Art Students League of New York. He has reached a significant international presence in photography and his work is part of outstanding private collections and museums in Europe\, USA and Latin America. He currently lives and develops his work between Berlin and Madrid. \n

SUMMARY:100 YEARS OF ROCA | 100 YEARS OF DESIGN
DESCRIPTION:100 Years of Roca | 100 Years of Design explores the dynamic connection between marketing communications and the evolution of Roca\, from its origins in 1917 as a family workshop in Barcelona\, to becoming a global bathroom company. It offers a unique insight into how the brand has not only captured the mood of the times\, but has also progressed and adapted over the past 100 years in line with changing attitudes\, lifestyles and needs. \nVisitors can follow an informed and insightful path through the extensive Roca archive\, curated and displayed here for the first time\, depicting a rich panorama of historic advertising\, publications\, photography and design material. These reflect the emergence of Roca as a global brand and also mark the bathroom transformations that took place in this era as a result of functional and spatial trends\, hygiene habits\, new materials\, technologies and the major social\, economic and political moments of the last century. \n100 Years of Roca | 100 Years of Design is a year-long initiative that will celebrate Roca’s centenary\, which incorporates a number of activities\, including two exhibitions and several events\, tracing Roca’s journey. A second centenary exhibition opening later in 2017 will focus on Roca’s product design history. \n

SUMMARY:Future Archaeologies by Fran Meana
DESCRIPTION:SCAN (Spanish Contemporary Art Network) presents Future Archaeologies\, the first solo project by Fran Meana in the UK. \nFuture Archaeologies unearths the work of the chimeric architect Joaquín Vaquero Palacios and his pioneering designs for the Salime\, Selviella and Proaza hydroelectric plants. Built between 1954 and 1965\, these brutalist landmarks are covered with geometric shapes and symbols representing energy and its transformation processes. \nIn spite of the architect’s innovative spirit\, these buildings symptomatically embody the conflict between utopian dreams of a convivial relationship with nature and the prevalence of a paradigm where industrial technology is used to dominate\, exploit and deplete the environment. \nUsing a combination of digital and physical media\, this ongoing archive explores the role of work and industry as mediators between nature and society\, right when the sector’s ongoing privatization and the emergence of a “sun tax” in Spain have ignited the debate on energy management. \nFran Meana works with sculpture\, video and installation. His projects investigate how matter is affected by different structures of industry. \nFuture Archaeologies is the winning project of the Premio LABjoven_Los Bragales\, called jointly by la Colección Los Bragales and LABoral Centro de Arte. This exhibition is produced in collaboration with Colección Los Bragales\, LABoral Centro de Arte and supported by Acción Cultural Española (AC/E). \n
